Does this sound familiar? It’s year-end and you’re searching for missing receipts, answering questions about old transactions and trying to remember something that happened 6 months ago.

That includes knowing what your accountant needs from you in advance so you have time to collect all of it.

We’ve come up with a year-end checklist to help you systematically get everything in order.

Prepare for business year-end with 8 practical steps for Canadian owners, from bank reconciliations and receipts to inventory, payroll and tax records.

Do you know a business that’s reporting a profit yet is still struggling to make payroll, pay suppliers or cover interim tax payments? For a growing business, cashflow management is not simply watching the bank balance.

As an Alberta business owner and operator, you need to keep accurate books, have reliable reporting and a clear understanding of your tax obligations. That’s part of running a business, but, when your company is growing, a one-size-fits-all approach to accounting isn’t as useful. For example, the financial questions for a law firm are not the same as the questions facing a construction company, a retailer or an e-commerce brand.

Growth adds layers of complexity. Growing companies might need to hire more employees, take on larger projects, serve a larger customer base, introduce new services, carry more inventory, manage multiple payments channels, or operate across several locations. While all of this contributes to generating more revenue, it could also mean facing tighter cash flow, higher overhead and greater operating expenses.
